Each hour, the number of remaining balloons is counted and recorded in a table. - After 1 hour there were 90 balloons remaining, and after 3 hours there were 70 balloons remaining. - The student sells 10 balloons each hour, as shown by the pattern in the table. - Using the expression 100 - 10h, where h is the number of hours passed, will predict the number of balloons remaining after any given number of hours.
